MAKE HONG KONG PROSPEROUS

Every ocean going `ship that sails into Hong Kong's harbour carries a number of people who could, by enlightenment on the Colony's attractions and re- creational facilities, be induced. to make it a place of sojourn. This would mean the introduc- tion of fresh money into the Colony from which you would either directly or indirectly benefit.

The Hong Kong Travel Association is sponsored by the Government of Hong Kong; its aim is, by com- prehensive and intensive prop- aganda, to encourage Tour" ism in the Colony.

In order to achieve this object effectively, a considerable out- lay is necessary, and contribu- tions are therefore invited from the public of Hong Kong.

Subscriptions should be directed to:
